We are pleased to know about your inte-
rest in our master courses on Aerospace
Engineering.
The technical expertise of Aerospace
is in many ways part of the modern life
and the Aerospace Industry has reported
significant growth in recent years. This
industry is shaped by world-open thinking
and international cooperation. Shaped
by high technology, these branches offera multiplicity of interesting jobs. As in
the last years, in the next years many
more qualified engineers will be required
than available. Environmental aspects
becoming more and more important, int-
roduction of new materials, the envisaged
shortage of natural resources together
with an increase of the demand, require
creative solutions - leading to a strongnecessity of well-qualified engineers.
Aerospace manufacturers no longer
develop and produce all the product com-
ponents in house, but increasingly assign
these tasks to suitable suppliers or risk
sharing partners (Outsourcing). Assigning
essential tasks to the suppliers leads to a
change of the engineering requirements
at both suppliers and manufacturers.
The tasks of todays engineers cover
not only construction and computation,
but beyond that: the supply of new
technologies, pre-development, project
lead, data management, management of
test facilities, quality assurance and the
development and use of software for the
virtual product development.
The FH Aachen with its Master Aero-
space Engineering realizes these demands
in their education:
> 3 semesters Master Course(excl. Research Semester)
> 4 semesters Master Course
(incl. Research Semester)
The faculty with its focused spectrum of
competences and the highly motivated
professors is awaiting you for an ambi-
tious and application-oriented course.
Please be aware that we are currently
rearranging and improving our study
programme, which will include changes in
the structure of the study plan. For latest
information please check our website
www.fb6.fh-aachen.de.

FH AACHEN CAREER OPPORTUNITIES | AEROSPACE ENGINEERING | 7
According to current inquiries most German and European
enterprises look for engineers. A majority of todays aerospace
engineers will retire in the next years.
The need of air transport grows strongly requesting additi-
onal new, more economical and environment friendly airplanes;
the airplanes still in use are to be replaced. Space-bared services,
missions and exploratation possibilities are constantly growing
(GPS, communication, weather and environmental monitoring,
satellite TV).
Therefore, today the prospects for a qualified new genera-
tion of engineers is excellent.Based on the high scientific level of the courses, the
graduates will be able to solve specific problems for product de-
velopment in the industry as well as tasks in scientific research;
and so they are well prepared to grow into leading management
positions.
The masters of engineering can likewise find their place in
the application orientated research or continue their studies with
a PhD at a university. The FH Aachen Master courses qualify for
the higher public service level in Germany.

8 | AEROSPACE ENGINEERING | COMPETENCES FH AACHEN
The course Master of Aerospace Engineering provides the
students with the ability to solve complex problems. Thus, they
improve their mathematical and technical base, study modern
analytical and computer-based methods and apply them to selec-
ted tasks. Special attention will be given to teamworking and
multidisciplinary thinking.
This provides the ability to gain further needed knowledge
independent and/or in teams.
The 3 semester Master course (w/o research semester)
is based on the Bachelor course Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik
(Aerospace Technology). It is scheduled starting directly afterthis 7 semester BA course of our Faculty. The Master courses
technically continue the Bachelor courses and deepen and widen
their technical knowledge.
The Master courses of Aerospace Engineering are
consecutive application oriented courses. Consecutive study is
also possible after job phases between Bachelor graduation and
Master course. Training, lessons, scientific qualification of the
professors, equipment and the connections of the university
with industry support the orientation of the course towardsapplication. Therefore, graduating from FH Aachen will grant the
title Master of Engineering (M. Eng.).

Structural Dynamics | Prof. Dr.-Ing. Mi-
chael Wahle
First the mathematical and physical fun-
damentals of the finite element method
(FEM) are presented and deepened based
on simple examples. The different possibi-
lities of damping and mass matrices in the
structural analysis are treated in parti-
cular. The inclusion and/or consideration
of test results for the complete structure
and parts of it and/or their components is
introduced. The model validation on the
basis of the experimental modal analysis
is treated. Besides modal analysis the the-
ory of computation variants for forced os-
cillations will be established for different
kinds of excitation (transient by means of
step wise integration; harmonic to random
steady state modal and not modal); this
will be deepened using practical examples.
Critical cases from practice experience
will be discussed with respect to means
of compensation. In the practicals di-
verse complex finite element models are
provided with ANSYS, and the differentcomputation possibilities are discussed.
62303 4 Credits
Advanced Finite Element Methods | Prof.
Dr.-Ing. Jrn Harder
The aim of this course is (based on the
knowledge of the bachelor course FEM
Grundlagen [Fundamentals of FEM] for
the FE treatment of linear problems ) thatthe students acquire the capability to
solve more complex structural mechanics
tasks (nonlinear problems, stability prob-
lems). Moreover the students should gain
a deeper understanding of the universa-
lity of the finite element method by the
treatment of another class of field prob-
lems, namely heat tranfer problems. This
should also enable the students to analyse
thermal stresses when consecutively per-
forming stress analyses. In the practical
trainings the students should deepen the
acquired theoretical knowledge by exemp-
larily performing FEanalyses (or essential
parts of it) of close to reality examples.
At the same time the ability for teamwork
and social competence shall be practised
by executing the practical tasks in small
groups.
62701 4 Credits
CFD Applications | Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank
Janser
The main aim is to develop the compe-
tence to solve difficult fluid dynamic
problems numerically. To do so a deeper
understanding of turbulent flows, far in
excess of the Bachelor study, and of the
numerical solutions of turbulent flow
problems has to be gained. This is manda-
tory for any judicious decision if a parti-
cular fluid dynamic problem is prone for a
numerical solution and which turbulence
model will render the optimal solution.
The most common numerical codes and
turbulence models will be demonstrated
using practical examples (aerospace andautomotive).

Actuator Systems | Prof. Dr.- Ing. Peter
Dahmann
This module qualifies for description and
calculation of linear and rotary actuators
based on hydraulic, pneumatic or electro
mechanical principles.It qualifies both for conservative calcula-
tion and for digital simulation. One attains
the capability to solve problems indepen-
dently with actuators in systems. Acuta-
tors are always part of a system. One at-
tains the ability to think interdisciplinary.
A competence is reached by autonomous
computation not only to attain knowledge
but also use it productively in new tasks.

Advanced Space Propulsion | Prof. Dr.-
Ing. Thomas Esch, Prof. Dr.-Ing. BerndDachwald
The objective of this course is to get an
understanding of advanced space propul-
sion concepts for innovative applications.
The following systems are covered: for
in-space propulsion, electric propulsion
systems have a much higher specific im-
pulse than chemical systems and require
therefore less propellant to accomplish a
mission. Solar sails use the freely available
solar radiation for propulsion and require
therefore no propellant at all. For into-
space-propulsion, ramjets with sub- and
supersonic combustion, which can be com-
bined with conventional rockets, can offer
a significant higher performance than the
latter alone. The course sets the basis for
independent lecture of the relevant litera-
ture and autonomous scientific research.

Dr.-Ing. Bernd Dachwald
The objective of this course is to get an
understanding of the phenomena that are
associated with the entry of a space ve-
hicle into a planetary atmosphere. Based
on aerothermodynamics, the flow aroundthe entering vehicle is investigated and
the physical problems of hypersonic flow
are explained, including the respective
similarity laws and parameters. The dyna-
mics of an entering vehicle is analyzed for
the ballistic case as well as for the lifting
case. The course sets the basis for inde-
pendent lecture of the relevant literature
and autonomous scientific research.

Research Semester
By choosing a four-semester master
course (with Research Semester), the
student is required to achieve one of the
following options in order to earn a mas-
ter degree:
> an internship with duration of 24
weeks in an industrial enterprise
including the pre- and wrap-up
meetings. The internship must
contain engineer activities within
the range of system integration in an
enterprise of the vehicle technology.The arrangement of the practical
course is co-ordinated with the re-
spective qualification profile of the
student and must be agrees upon
in the procedure of admission with
the study advisor of the university
department. The study advisor
supports the student also with the
search for a suitable placement.Over the research semester a report
is to produce as well as conclusion
presentation or
> one interdisciplinary research
project in one of the offered
project teams at the FH Aachen with
duration of 24 weeks. Regarding
the arrangement of the activities
within the research project as well
as their conclusion presentation, the
accordingly regulations as for the
industrial internship is applied.
The Research Semester serves the goal
to introduce the students with already
acquired basic knowledge to engineer-mo-
derate working. This requires a continuous
cooperation to one or more small projects.
The work portion of the students is to be
thereby not only subordinated nature, but
approximate from the quality that of an
engineer.
The Research Semester offers the
possibility for the students to use the
knowledge and abilities acquired in the
past study and to reflect and evaluate
afterwards the experiences made with the
practical activity.In advance to the Research Semester
the Department of Aerospace Engineering
offers in October, once a year an integra-
tion course in German Life and Business
Culture for all the new students.
General Competencies | To strengthen
also the soft-skill qualification of the
students the study is supplemented bymultidisciplinary modules.
